Bøger af Ivan Turgenev

I En jægers optegnelser følger vi en ivrig jæger på hans rejse rundt i Rusland, drevet af jagtens forskellige former. I hvert af de 20 afsnit møder jægeren bønder og herremænd, soldater og jægere, rige og fattige, kvinder og mænd. Alle fortæller de jægeren om deres liv, eller jægeren oplever det selv i den tid, hvor de sammen, og fortællingerne om godhed og gerrighed, svig, glæde og fattigdom er også fortællingen om det russiskefolk, som det tog sig ud i 1852.Turgenev voksede op på sine forældres gods og så der, hvordan især hans mor tugtede og misbrugte de livegne bønder og tjenestefolkene. Det var en uretfærdighed, som blev siddende i ham gennem hele hans liv, og som udmøntede sig i værkerne En jægersoptegnelser og Fædre og sønner. Turgenev er blandt de største og mest kendte russiske forfattere fra 1800-tallet. Hans emner er de samme som hos Tolstoj og Dostojevskij, men selv yndede han at sammenligne sig med sin gode ven Gustave Flaubert. Senere forfattere som Joseph Conrad og Henry James er kraftigt influerede af Turgenev, og James har bl.a. sagt, at ”hans prosa og form er af den højeste orden”.Ivan Turgenev blev født i Orjal i Rusland af aristokratiske forældre i 1818. I 1852 udgav han, hvad der skulle blive hans store gennembrud og et hovedværk i den russiske realisme, En jægers optegnelser. Bogen slap på mirakuløs vis gennem zarens ellers strenge censur, og med sine beskrivelser af det russiske folks hårde liv blev den en stor del af grunden til, at livegenskabet endelig blev ophævet i Rusland.

Turgenev's first major prose work is a series of twenty-five Sketches: the observations and anecdotes of the author during his travels through Russia satisfying his passion for hunting. His album is filled with moving insights into the lives of those he encounters - peasants and landowners, doctors and bailiffs, neglected wives and bereft mothers - each providing a glimpse of love, tragedy, courage and loss, and anticipating Turgenev's great later works such as First Love and Fathers and Sons. His depiction of the cruelty and arrogance of the ruling classes was considered subversive and led to his arrest and confinement to his estate, but these sketches opened the minds of contemporary readers to the plight of the peasantry and were even said to have led Tsar Alexander II to abolish serfdom.

First Love tells the story of Vladimir Petrovich, a sixteen-year-old Russian student, who becomes captivated by the enchanting twenty-one-year-old Princess Zinaida. Vladimir finds himself irresistibly drawn into her circle of suitors, despite recognizing the folly of his infatuation. First Love vividly portrays the dizzying sensation of first infatuation and the tumultuous allure of unattainable love. Spring Torrents, also known as The Torrents of Spring, begins with the introspective musings of Dmitri Pavlovich Sanin, a fifty-two-year-old Russian nobleman. While listlessly searching through old letters, Sanin finds a tiny garnet cross that reignites memories of a radiant and romantic liaison he had in his early twenties in Frankfurt with Gemma, the daughter of an Italian confectioner. A poignant tale of first love, betrayal, redemption, and forgiveness, Spring Torrents ranks as one of Turgenev's finest literary accomplishments. This Warbler Classics edition includes a foreword by Joseph Conrad, a scholarly essay on reading Springs Torrents as a sociopolitical allegory of Russia's present and future, and a detailed biographical timeline.

We went out of the kitchen-garden . . . but there involuntarily I stopped short. Between us and the lodge stood a huge bull. With his head down to the ground, and a malignant gleam in his eyes, he was snorting heavily and furiously, and with a rapid movement of one fore-leg, he tossed the dust up in the air with his broad cleft hoof, lashed his sides with his tail, and suddenly backing a little, shook his shaggy neck stubbornly, and bellowed.

A sleepy, unkempt doctor, smelling strongly of spirits, was brought. My father died under his lancet, and the next day, utterly stupefied by grief, I stood with a candle in my hands before a table, on which lay the dead man, and listened senselessly to the bass sing-song of the deacon, interrupted from time to time by the weak voice of the priest. The tears kept streaming over my cheeks, my lips, my collar, my shirtfront.

"'Really, uncle, if you knew my life--really, if not grief-- harsh fate! For that reason, I swear, I swear, I will reform--I will prove. Uncle, I never lied--ask any one. I am an honorable but an unhappy man, uncle. I have received no kindness from any one. Here he finally broke off.

On such days all the colours are softened, bright but not glaring; everything is suffused with a kind of touching tenderness. On such days the heat is sometimes very great; often it is even 'steaming' on the slopes of the fields, but a wind dispels this growing sultriness, and whirling eddies of dust--sure sign of settled, fine weather--move along the roads and across the fields in high white columns. In the pure dry air there is a scent of wormwood, rye in blossom, and buckwheat; even an hour before nightfall there is no moisture in the air. It is for such weather that the farmer longs, for harvesting his wheat.

To a certain extent the neighbours were right: Alexey Sergeitch had lived in his Suhodol for almost seventy years on end, and had had hardly anything whatever to do with the existing authorities, with the police or the law-courts.
